Drafting & Design Course Outline

DRAFTING & DESIGN 10

Prerequisite: None

AutoCAD Level 1 If drafting draws your interest, this course is designed

for the beginner student considering careers such as drafting, engineering,
interior design, industrial design, architecture, carpenter, steel fabricator,
cabinet maker, electrician, plumbing, heating or any one of the numerous
other professions, which all demand knowledge of drafting. Level 1
explores the elements and techniques used for sketching, designing,
modeling and creating mechanical and basic architectural drawings. Starting
with the basics of board drafting, this course then quickly moves on to 2-D
Computer Assisted Drafting and Design (CADD), using AutoCAD software.
Designing and printing a 3D object to the 3D Printer is another component
of this course. Students will be expected to create a Portfolio of their work in
a digital format.

DRAFTING & DESIGN 12

Prerequisite: Drafting and Design 10 or 11, Level 1

AutoCAD Level 2 For those who see a career in drafting, architectural

design, engineering (civil, mechanical, electrical or aero), technologies
(civil, electronic, mechanical), woodwork, or the metal trades this course is
your next step. In the architectural portion of this course, students will draw
a set of floor plans, elevations and perspective drawings of a single floor
residential home. While in the mechanical portion, students will learn the
basics and move on to more advanced drafting in 3 view drawing
(Orthographic), perspective drawing, developments, intersections and 3D
solid modeling. Designing and printing a complex 3D object to the 3D
Printer is another component to this course. Students will be using CADD
software (Computer Assisted Drafting and Design software AutoCAD)
and will be expected to create a Portfolio of their work in analog or digital
format.
